    Why do I keep breaking my rear Tyre ?

    I didn't say it was the fault of the ratbite, I said I sustained damage with a ratbite installed and have now lost faith in them for e bikes. The airliners are solid compared to the ratbite and twice the size too. You can squash the ratbite with your fingers but no chance with airliner. 2...

    Why do I keep breaking my rear Tyre ?

    What's the least you've got out of a battery?

    12 miles on shimano, is the least for me and im only 65kg. As discused on other threads, it's more about the elevation and I average about 3500 feet climb on a full charge, in trail mode.

    Why do I keep breaking my rear Tyre ?

    Vittoria air liners seem to be the answer for me, after trashing 3 wheels. Only been running them for a short while so far though.

    Shimano Steps E8000 locking ring tool

    dont think you can get a chain guide with bash guard for the shimano motor. i tried a while ago and its because the bolt pattern is unique. if you can find one though, let me know? cheers.

    New to emtb but converted! Thoughts and questions

    Xt brakes are under powered and I had to move onto zee. I'm under 11 stone though. You might need something stronger. As for plus tyres bouncing around, just put inserts like vittoria air liners in and it will use up half of the volume.

    You can deal direct with Madison re the motor, or you can use one of the dedicated Shimano service centres for things like diagnostics although the unit is about 200 quid anyway.

    I have a feeling that there will be a new strive and strive on, next year and that's the one I will wait for.
